This was Hitler’s most effective early tactic.

Humans “TEND TO AVOID FACTS THAT ARE UNCOMFORTABLE OR REQUIRE WORK TO UNDERSTAND”.

As Goebbels did, Trump “reinforces prejudice”.

At every turn, over and over, use your weapon to thrust, parry, advance.

Trump’s congregation not only follow him, and put him on a pedestal.

They are “grateful to him”.

A young woman who was getting her life turned around via her job at a Carrier plant was thrilled, as were her fellow workers at the Carrier plant Trump raised as an example of what was wrong with America allowing jobs to leave the country.

They believed he would solve their coming announced fate.

They voted for him on his promise.

She received her layoff notice last week.

Of course, he had never has the intention of keeping his promise.

It was as empty as his promise to the miners in West Virginia.

As empty as his promises to the manufacturing workers of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana.

They believe they are part of his family.

Trump absconded with their vote.

He continues to throw them morsels via his rallies.

He reinforces his view of reality via Fox News et al.

They LOVE IT!

They don’t have to entertain any ‘real news’.

It doesn’t play in Trump’s narrative.

They don’t listen to ‘reason’. They don’t have to.

They absorbed Trump’s reality.

My belief is that the Republican leadership has recognized Trump’s power to motivate his base as their path down the ‘yellow brick road’.

As long as they have already been complicit in the biggest heist in history their best path is to help Trump fulfill his mandate and then reach the pot of gold.

Trump and they know that the ‘Fake Media’ will call him out on all things he didn’t do.

They don’t care.

They have his base, they have the gerrymandered districts that will absorb the Democrats votes like a Bounty paper towel that will be wrapped into a soggy pile and thrown on the side of tracks.
